Apoptosis

Today, there is a better understanding of the several diseases that exist in our World. There is a realization that it can happen to anyone. “One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime,” according to the Skin Cancer Foundation (2015). Skin cancer can develop into a serious problem, so being educated about it is very important. It’s important to know the three main types of skin cancer and the treatments available for them. The more an individual knows about these…

Abstract: Curcumin is a spice that is the active ingredient in traditional foods, which has an incredible amount of beneficial properties, such as anti-inflammation and chemo preventive action. It can also act as an antioxidant and can even chelate irons. Currently, curcumin is involved in human clinical trials for many different conditions like multiple myeloma, Alzheimer’s disease, and colon cancer as a potential therapeutic agent. The purpose of this proposal is to present the current level…

The trial showed no evidence of cancer resurgence after 3 years of investigation. These studies led researchers to hypothesize the therapeutic role of testosterone in prostate cancer. Scientists are currently requesting additional study on the apoptosis of androgen-independent PC cells. The characteristics of the mutated prostatic cells would cease replication when exposed to testosterone-albumin complex, while allowing the prostatic membrane to remain intact. The increase in division of PC…

is a podophyllotoxin that inhibits topoisomerase II, the enzyme responsible for unwinding the DNA. If the DNA cannot unwind, the cell will be unable to replicate, transcribe mRNA, or repair itself. If the cell is unable to repair it will undergo apoptosis. The final treatment is flutamide, an anti-androgen, which inhibits the androgen receptor. The tumor is androgen positive which means testosterone stimulates the neoplasia to grow. Flutamide blocks the androgen receptors and…

relationship. Slide 18 and 19:Cytochrome C acts as another form of molecular evidence for evolution. Cytochrome C is a protein located in the mitochondria that helps transport electrons during cellular respiration. Cytochrome C is also released during apoptosis which is controlled cell death. The cytochrome c protein is essential to life so it 's present in all living…

Complications of Diabetes Mellitus Type II A 20 years old nursing student in her sophomore year, has been diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DMII). Although she has completed most of her science courses, she has not completed applied pathophysiology. She knew something was wrong due the signs and symptoms presented: polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, acanthosis nigricans, tingling of toes and fingers, progressive vision loss. Once she consulted her primary physician, , hyperglycemia…

was observed possibly due to result of short duration of study. Furthermore the LUSO antidiabetic activity was tested in STZ induced diabetic rats. STZ is a diabetogenic compound, it caused diabetes by alteration in pancreatic β cells DNA leads to apoptosis. It also generate very toxic free radical peroxinitrate, damages the cell integrity. LUSO (3ml/kg) exhibited significant reduction in blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin level as compared with diabetic control group in 21 days of study.…

CELLS The immune system is a complex network of cells and chemicals. It's mission is to protect us against foreign organisms and substances. The cells in the immune system have the ability to recognize something as either "self" or "invader" and they try to get rid of anything that is an invader many different kind of cells , and hundreds of different chemicals , must be coordinated for the immune system to function smoothly. Recent scientific advances in human stem cell research have…

Within each of us, there is an immune system that works hard to keep us healthy and devoid of disease and infection. Composed of white blood cells, the immune system functions to identify and destroy foreign substances, known as pathogens or antigens. In the case of an autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus, abbreviated SLE, the immune system does not function as it should. Instead of attacking and destroying foreign invaders, the immune system reacts to the body’s own healthy…

Background information Structure of the large intestine The large intestine (also known as large bowel or colon) is the last part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It extends from the cecum to the anus, with the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum in between. The large intestine consists of four layers of tissue: the mucosa, submucosa, muscle and serosa (figure 1). The mucosa is made out of an epithelial layer, with a layer of…
